How to get an A in Applied Maths
Posted by: ozymandias1 on: May 15, 2012
It may not seem a big deal, but if you’re a teacher of Applied Maths then worked solutions – whether they be Department of Education marking schemes or full solutions – can be a life-saver. The official marking schemes go back to 1995 but for some reason you can only get back to 2001 on [...]
Some of my favourite resources in my lab
Posted by: ozymandias1 on: February 2, 2012
1. An electronic labeller. Not cheap. But very, very necessary. This model allows for different size tape and different font sizes. It also has a wide range of characters, including mathematical symbols. 2. Trays More specifically, gratnell trays. Durable, stackable, availabe in a range of sizes and colours. 3. Sweet boxes More specifically haribo boxes. [...]
Applied Maths Resources
Posted by: ozymandias1 on: May 4, 2011
A bit late in the year perhaps, but for anyone out there studying (or teaching) Applied Maths it might be worth noting that I have uploaded a full set of exam questions in the Exam Material section of the website. These go from 2010 all the way back to 1970. I scanned them in from [...]
Nuclear Physics Resouces
Posted by: ozymandias1 on: March 19, 2011
For anyone out there interested in educating themselves on all things nuclear. I teach this as two seperate chapters for Leaving Cert Physics. I would like to think that by studying the notes on the two chapters plus watching the associated links you would actually be in a position to answer any leaving cert questions [...]
Leaving Cert Physics: Derivations
Posted by: ozymandias1 on: April 26, 2010
There are a total of 11 derivations on the Leaving Cert Physics syllabus: 1. Three equations of motion 2. F = ma 3. v = r w 4. Relationship between Periodic Time and Radius for a Satellite in Orbit 5. To show that any object that obeys Hooke’s Law will also execute SHM 6. Equation [...]
Nice resources for atomic bonding
Posted by: ozymandias1 on: October 6, 2009
A rather unorthodox approach to revising atomic bonding: It dovetails nicely with one of the many free resources from absorblearning – in this case an animation of an oxygen atom bonding (covalently) with two hydrogen atoms to form a water molecule. There are over 100 other free resources like this from the same site [...]

I have tended to neglect the Junior Cert end of thephysicsteacher.ie Hopefully this has now been rectified. Or at any rate it’s a start. The interactive links were there already but not easily accessable, and were all on one long page. The section which took longest to prepare was the ‘Tips for Teachers’ section. Hopefully [...]
‘Who wants to be a millionaire?’ online science game
Posted by: ozymandias1 on: March 20, 2009
Wonderful online science game - who knew learning could be fun? Bring the class down to the computer lab and have them play in teams of mixed ability. Millionaires get no homework. But watch out – it’s a little addictive. Who wants to be a millionaire? These and more from Jefferson Lab.
Dissection – great fun entirely
Posted by: ozymandias1 on: March 4, 2009
I have been experiencing a renaissance in my teaching life ever since I decided to embrace my ignorance on all issues biological (still can’t learn to love Chemistry unfortunately, but there may still be time). We did heart dissections the other day. I spent an evening searching for related videos on youtube. I am a firm [...]

The Large Hardon Collider is due to be turned on this day next week (Wednesday, 10th of September), so it’s not a bad time to put together some useful resources to show to the troops to give them some idea of what it’s all about. At just under 5 minutes, the Large Hadron Rap isn’t [...]
